I would be remiss if I didn’t at least mention that Interbike is underway this week in Las Vegas. I am not there, and honestly, I haven’t really been following it closely this year, but you can check the usual places for coverage and show photos- the tech pages at VeloNews, Bike Radar (where you will find an article about the Mando Footloose IM), and MTBR.com. Slowtwitch also has good show coverage (obviously with a bias toward triathlon/TT bikes) and for a slightly different perspective I encourage you to check out the galleries at The Radivist and Urban Velo (both featuring much better photography that you will see on the average bike site).

As I said, I haven’t been following the show very closely, but I did hear one bit of news that I am pretty excited about…the return of Chris Chance and Fat Chance Bicycles. I was a big fan of Fat City Cycles in the late 80s/ early 90s, and I can’t wait to see what version 2.0 brings. Welcome back, Chris…and Yo Eddy.
